Is this a dimension bass??

Hi

Is this a dimension bass as it looks different to every other one I ever seen? If it’s not does anyone know what model is it??

Thanks

I think it's an old Dimension.

I seem to recall that the Dimension name and shape originated in the early 2000s, the new models have the same shape and name, but completely different pickups and electronics.

It doesn't look like the same shape - the top horn is longer on the old version and it has a 2+2 headstock. I think the name was reused rather than the current dimension being any kind of continuation of the old design.

I wasn’t sure as it looked a bit like a Jazz bass special from the 80’s but with a different shape headstock but the body shape looks different this one looks like it has a slightly offset waist but the body on the special was virtually the same as a precision bass

I’ve never seen a fender with a 2+2 headstock so that’s what threw me?

That looks more like a Fender Prophecy, like Troy Sanders used to play.

Appears to be a Dimension IV from 2004-2007, about halfway down the page here...
